Absolutely gorgeous night in downtown Cincinnati.

We saw Broadway Across America‘s presentation of Mamma Mia! at the Aronoff Center.


We stopped at Righteous Room to have a Bell’s Oberon beforehand…



We had some pretty amazing seats…


Incredibly great show! We would definitely see Mamma Mia! again if it comes back to Cincinnati!

Tonight might just be the perfect night for a baseball game.

Perfect. Taken with Instagram.

For one of this weekend’s many Cinco de Mayo celebrations. Nada always throws a huge party.

And after we’re done shooting photos of the Cinco de Mayo celebration on Fountain Square,
we’ll definitely be heading over to nada’s big Cinco de Mayo blowout!

Maybe…

Aaaand, I jumped the gun. The game was postponed. I’m really glad we didn’t try to go to
this game. Hopefully, the weather will cooperate for the Reds-Cubs game tomorrow night.
Fingers crossed. 🙂

We were tinkering with the notion of going to the Reds-Cubs game tonight. But the
forecast didn’t sound very promising. And then it looked pretty ominous again…



Right when we got back from our walk, the heaven’s opened up, soaking downtown…


We have tickets to tomorrow night’s game. Hopefully, the weather will be more cooperative.

We’ve been really enjoying Bad Veins new Album, “The Mess We’ve Made.” They used
one or more of my photos on their new album artwork…

The inside contains is a really cool montage of different photos…

I know that the one in the second row on the left is one of my photos…

I think one or two of the others may be mine but I’m not exactly sure.



Pretty neat. 🙂

And it ended up raining pretty much all evening.

Finding ourselves out and about in suburbia this afternoon, we decided to venture just a
little bit further to find the much renowned Cincinnati BBQ joint, SmoQ.

There were so many amazing sounding things on their menu. Making a decision was tough.

We started off with some hushpuppies. I’ve been craving hushpuppies for weeks.
And they gave us some of the best cornbread muffins that I’ve ever tasted.

Genifer ordered the pulled pork sammich with cole slaw on top…

I went for broke. And ordered the rib combo. It was a full slab but half Memphis-style
baby back ribs, and a half slab of dry rub St. Louis-style ribs. It came with two sides
and we decided on the mashed potatoes and three-cheese mac and cheese…

Both were excellent. But the St. Louis-style ribs were where it was at. Soo delicious.

We ate and ate and ate on our meals but still had a huge box of BBQ to take with us.

We’re going to have to find more excuses to venture out to the ‘burbs to enjoy more of the
delicious SmoQ BBQ. It is really pretty amazing stuff. When we left, we were pretty much
in a meat coma. When we got home, we turned on the Reds game and took a nap.
